Characterization of Jet Engine Exhaust Particulates for the F404, F118, T64, and T58 Aircraft Engines

摘要

In this study, jet engine exhaust particulate samples collected from four military aircraft engines were analyzed for particle morphology. Particulate emissions from three of the engines were also analyzed for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The F118, F404, T58, and T64 engines were tested in four modes: approach, idle, military, and intermediate. The F404 engine was also tested in afterburner mode. Conclusions and recommendations are made based on the test results.
